4x4 Wanna Be Part 2 - SAS Toyota Axle/3Link

Yes he did, cant remember who makes it but it adapts from Tacoma trans to the older style case.

 

Adam I found you a set of longfields for 500 bucks Here

 

I got the adapter from Inchworm, great people to deal with!

Not a bad deal but currently putting funds elsewhere

 

Trans?

 

Nah, not yet lol but hopefully here in the next year or so

 

Not a whole lot going on with my truck, but I have been making some progress on another Yota...

My girlfriends little brother has an 82 Pickup and it blew the head gasket.



The trucks specs are:

82 Pickup with Celica 22R/Webber Carb
5.29's with Spartan front and GrizzLock rear
Trail-Gear springs with Bilsteins (front)
63's with Bilsteins (rear)
36in Iroc Bias Ply
Trail-Gear P/S Pump Kit
High Steer
Dual cases (2.28 in both) with twin stick on rear case
HD drive lines
DOM/Diamond Plate bed with LED lights


The top-end rebuild specs are:

Resurfaced head
New valves and valve stem seals
Crawler Cam
OEM head/intake/exhaust gaskets
New water pump, thermostat, hoses, rotor button, distributor cap, wires, plugs and PCV valve

I am just waiting on the Crawler Cam, then she can go back together... In the mean time I cleaned up the Valve Cover and put a fresh coat of paint

 

I am jelly of Kaleb. That is a badass Yota.

 

That valve cover looks like shit, you should drop it off at the house. Jk, it looks sweet, saw you headed down 49 this morning when I was going to work.

 

Haha thanks man

Yeah I saw your truck there on my way back by.

BTW fuck Low Range Offroad... after almost 48 hours they have informed me that the cam is on back-order... So I'm going to back up and punt.

 

Found one on JEGS but damn... almost $70 more... oh well, gotta get it coming if I want my parking space back lol

 

So what was the culprit on the stuck head?

 

smith casa where toyotas congregate

 

That sucks about Low Range. I finally got the horunner into it's jack stand parking spot today

 

Mines been in that spot for months, it might be done by memorial day, if not I'll be wheeling the Tacoma.

Odd how it was that long till they notified you. Low range is on the other side of the country so it takes forever to get here. Next time look through daves off-road on nc4x4.

 

Just needed some persuasion lol

 

Ahh, did you try engnbldr for the cam?

 

Well I ordered it Monday around lunch time. Called them Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. to add a 22R sticker to the order, still no mention of the back order... Then I got an e-mail mid-day Wednesday letting me know

Hopefully there wont be a next time lol I'm ready to get this thing done

 

Finally got around to working on this beast... we got the head, cam and rockers in. Went ahead and got the intake and exhaust manifolds on so now it's just nit-pick stuff and timing this thing

I'm anxious to see how the cam sounds/performs

 

The Beast is alive again! We get it back together, cam broken in and all is well. We got it up to temp and kept it there for around 30 minutes. We are letting it cool off tonight and then going back in to re-torque the head bolts and re-adjust the valves. Everything went great and I can't wait to have it done. I also got the hubs freshened up a little bit
